Free Newton's Laws of Motion MCQs with Answers

83 Newton's Laws of Motion MCQs from Physics, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

Newton’s laws explain inertia, the relation between net force and acceleration, and action-reaction pairs. Questions involve free-body diagrams, balanced and unbalanced forces, F = ma, force as the rate of change of momentum, and identifying genuine third-law pairs, which act on different bodies.

  • A. Zero
  • B. 2.5 kg
  • C. 5 kg
  • D. 10 kg

Explanation: The reading of the spring balance in this case would be zero.When the lift falls with an acceleration of 10 m/s^2, the weight of the body…

Correct answer: Zero
  • A. It is equal to the weight of the man.
  • B. It is greater than the force exerted by the floor on the man.
  • C. It is less than the force exerted by the floor on the man.
  • D. It is less than the weight of the man.

Explanation: As the lift is accelerating vertically downward so (g-a). The apparent weight of a man would become less than the actual weight.

Correct answer: It is less than the weight of the man.
  • A. They act in opposite directions
  • B. They both act at the same point
  • C. They both act on the same body
  • D. They both have the same magnitude

Explanation: Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line form a couple.

Correct answer: They both act at the same point
